The Purpose Of Storms In Life by Mayor38(m): 10:23am On Nov 21, 2013 |
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. - Mark 4:35 Thought for today The storm in your life is a confirmation of your bright future. There is a need to understand what a storm stands for in order to know God's wisdom and way of dealing with it. A storm is the violent disturbance of the atmosphere; it is that which disturbs the atmosphere of your life, peace and tranquillity, or serenity. A storm is an attack or an assault on a fortified place; whenever you notice any assault in your life as a fortified child of God, it is a storm. Any storm you are in today will obey you, in Jesus' Name. Many people cry when they are faced with the storms of life but God who permitted the storm did so in order to increase our faith. Why does God permit the storms of life? 1. Confrontation of Vision: There was no storm before Jesus said they should go to the other side. This means that the storm comes to confront the Word of God in your life; the Word of revelation, promise and prophecy. If God has spoken over your life, the devil will come up with a storm. Nothing happened to Joseph until he began to dream. He suffered confrontation because God showed him his future. The storm in your life is a confirmation of your bright future. If you are not ready for the storm, then forget about the promise. My excitement is that the Word must defeat the storm; no matter how long the storm lasts, it must surely bow to the Word of God. God told Abraham that he would be the father of nations (Gen. 15:5) and satan said, 'Let me see how you will become the father of nations.' satan resisted him for 25 years. However, Abraham waited, and the Word of God came to pass. The vision is for an appointed time; it will come to pass (Hab. 2:2-3). If you have the Word, don't mind the storm. 2. Confirmation of Rest: The water was inside the canoe but it didn't disturb Jesus' rest. The storm did not come to disturb your rest but to confirm it. Peter was sleeping between two soldiers the night before the day they were supposed to kill him (Acts 12:6). Revelation is the sponsor of rest; the more revelation you have, the more rest you will have. There is a shortage of insight and abundant stress because of revelation bankruptcy. Settle down and gather revelation until you come to a point where you will be sleeping through the storm and the devil will pity himself. Remember this: the storm in your life is a confirmation of your bright future. Assignment 1. Identify the raging storms in your life in the form of challenges. 2. Appreciate God for allowing those challenges in your life as a means of catapulting you to your next level.
